Losing Freedom of Speech


     Last week I listed losing freedom of speech as the number one threat facing our great country.  Many conservatives and Trump supporters are afraid to voice their opinion for fear being ostracized, fired from their job, destruction of their property, or even personal violence.  I know people working for major corporations who say voicing conservative views will prevent promotion and even lead to being fired. 
     The radical left know that if they can control speech, they can eventually control thought.  If dissenting speech is eliminated, people eventually won’t think anyone is opposed to the left’s Marxist agenda and believe they have to accept it.  
   The left say they want an open conversation with conservatives, but that is actually the last thing they want.  They only want to hear their own agenda.  If you disagree with it, you will probably be called a racist.  If you state actual facts, their response is to shout over you or say, “That has been debunked.”
       The lame-stream media has totally bought into the left’s agenda, and they no longer report the news.  They give their liberal interpretation of the news items they choose to report.  Viewers are expected to blindly accept their opinion. 
        Social media companies restrict free speech by blocking people who make comments counter to the left’s Marxist agenda.  The left can say anything, including blatant lies and that is okay. 
       Most major universities have been teaching the Marxist agenda for decades.  At most universities it is impossible to obtain tenure if not a Marxist.  No dissenting ideas are allowed on campus.  Conservative speakers are picketed or banned.  There is no free speech.  I feel sorry for Millennials who have been brainwashed with this indoctrination.
       No one is safe criticizing an organization like Black Lives Matter or ANTIFA.  Black Lives Matter does not care about the health and well-being of blacks.  They are looking for power as a Marxist party.  BLM and ANTIFA have done more damage to blacks than whites with the possible exception of WOKE white liberals.  Both should be labeled as domestic terrorists, but we can’t say that. 
       Banning so-called hate crimes is just an excuse to take away conservative freedom of speech.  A couple who painted over Black Lives Matter painted on a public street was charged with a hate crime.  This BLM graffiti should be a crime, but someone trying to clean it up is charged with a hate crime.  This is truly taking away freedom of speech.
      The radical left has taken over the Democratic Party.  Even weak Republicans try to appease the left.  This will never work as they will continue to demand more and become more violent until they destroy the country with Marxist ideas.
        George Orwell predicted this could happen in his book 1984 which was published in 1949.  He was wrong only in how long it took to happen.  Paul Harvey predicted this could happen in 1965.  We have to wake up and take a stand if we want to preserve our freedoms.
       In summary, we have all the hate groups, the Democratic Party, weak Republicans, the lame-stream media, social media, major universities, and many corporations all restricting free speech.  This should scare everyone.  If we lose our freedom of speech, we will eventually lose all our freedoms.  I can understand why people who are supporting a family cannot risk losing their job, but we better stand up and be counted at the polls in November. 
       
God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Trump did not bring division.  Division brought Trump. 
If you don’t see that, then you’re part of the problem.

  1. Wow! If we learned one thing from this blog, the author does read a previous comment. Must have hit a nerve on the 1st Amendment. The author still thinks its challenge is the #1 overall threat facing our county, among all others. Fortunately for the author’s post, and those with comments, prove the 1st Amendment rights are alive and well protected.

    How is the 1st Amendment being threatened? Who has argued for a repeal? Those that feel violated should address their grievances and damages with the legal system. If their case is valid and worthy it should not be a problem.

    As for the author’s retort using frequent mentions of Marxism, it has nothing to do with the 1st Amendment. A discussion of capitalism vs. socialism would be more enlightening and to the point. Those ideologies have nothing to do with the 1st Amendment.

    Isn’t is great we can all have an opinion.

  2. It's more than this. There is an attack on Western Civilization taking place. If you have Amazon Prime on your cable, Search for a documentary called "The Fight Of Our Lives". There is an effort to undermine the successes of Western Civilization. From representative democracy, tolerance of others, rule by law, and open debate, the pillars that uniquely define the characteristics of Western Civilization are being undermined. Instead of human social progess, there is the false idea that all cultures are equal. That women are not equal to men, that no life matters, that people should expect equal outcomes and not just equal opportunity, and that the past should be judged by how we feel about things today. In particular, there is a belief that the successes of the past in medicine, human rights, and misery-alleviating technology are not to be judged on merit but on race, gender, and class victimization. Areas in which the victims define themselves as victims and blame the lack of success in life on others.
